Answered How to append incremental integer to a string

[runfast]

I have duplicate records which I am trying to append a number at the end of the duplicate record name so that it is no longer a duplicate. I am staging this data for a subsequence process.
For Example: I have this records in an array:

var myArray = ["apple-DUP-DELETE","apple-DUP-DELETE","apple-DUP-DELETE","Orange-DUP-DELETE","Orange-DUP-DELETE"]
for(i=0;i<myArray.length;i++) {
var reName =myArray[i];
renName = reName + 1;\\ something like this which can initiate the incremental increase (number)
gs.log(reName);}

This would create an output:
output:

apple-DUP-DELETE1
apple-DUP-DELETE1
apple-DUP-DELETE1

which is still a duplicate. So, I am looking for the Majic trick to get these results:

apple-DUP-DELETE1
apple-DUP-DELET2
apple-DUP-DELETE3

renName = reName + 1;\\ something like this which can initiate the incremental increase (number)

Change that 1 to i, so it will increment with the loop.

Change that 1 to i, so it will increment with the loop.

Thanks Johna for looking this for me. so i have tried that by changing the 1 to i as showed below:

var myArray = ["apple-DUP-DELETE","apple-DUP-DELETE","apple-DUP-DELETE","Orange-DUP-DELETE","Orange-DUP-DELETE"]
for(i=0;i<myArray.length;i++) {
var reName =myArray[i];
renName = reName + i;\\ something like this which can initiate the incremental increase (number)
gs.log(reName);}

and here is the output i get when i run it:

*** Script: apple-DUP-DELETE
*** Script: apple-DUP-DELETE
*** Script: apple-DUP-DELETE
*** Script: Orange-DUP-DELETE
*** Script: Orange-DUP-DELETE

You have two variables: renName and reName. Are they supposed to be different?
If they're supposed to be the same, then change one of them to the other, and it should work well.
If they're supposed to be different, then just change gs.log(reName);} to gs.log(renName);}

They are supposed be same. Typo on mypart🙂 it works like charm. Thanks again for pointing that out.
